pci bus on raspberry pi

Former Member
Former Member over 12 years ago

Hello,

 

Is that possible to add a PCI or PCIe Bus on Raspberry pi?

 

If yes, how can i do it and what i need to buy?

 

King Regards,

Ricardo Silva

    This just appeared in my mailbox:

     

    The 86Duino Zero Runs Linux on x86 - ELEKTOR.com | Electronics: Microcontrollers Embedded Audio Digital Analogue Test Me…

     

    It is an x86 based Arduino type board with PCI express built in. Hope it helps, I am looking at getting one image

    I can't help but think that a 300MHz x86 processor is going to feel horribly slow even compared to a Raspberry Pi.  Depends what you use it for I suppose.  I have a Minnowboard, 1GHz Intel Atom cpu, and it struggles with things the Pi doesn't. That 86Duino is a full 700MHz slower.

     

    PCIe appearing on lower end boards is welcome of course, but I'd be left wondering what PCIe card I could connect that the board wouldn't struggle to handle.  The choices it opens is the main point I suppose as other boards won't have those options.

    This is not the piece that i try to find.

    I try to find a PCI BUS (female) not a PCI Card (male).

    Thanks anyway image

    The MinnowBoards are so expensive! Instead you can buy an Intel D2700 or something with Atom (NM10) processor.


    Basically i try to find an raspberry pi with PCI or PCIe. That would be perfect. As I can see it is impossible to find it.

     

    Thank you all image

    If you look at the SoC they're using, it has both PCIe target (i.e. it acts as a pcie card) and Control (can control other PCIe cards) interfaces. You'd have to do some research on how it's wired up, what drivers etc, but it's possible that all you need is a simple mechanical adapter in order to be able to connect it to a card. Not a lot of details on their website though.

    I am looking for exactly the same thing. - And for almost the same reason you are!

     

    Have you had any success?
